Now Roberto considers coffee an integral part of his life. Two years after establishing his brand-new plantation composed exclusively of geisha, the plants started producing. For this crop, Roberto started by collecting just the ripest cherries he could find. After 24 hours of rest in cherry, he pulped them and stored them in GrainPro bags for a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation. Following that he washed them thoroughly and dried the coffee for 14-16 days. Process: anaerobic washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Cusco, Peru\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariety: Geisha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy COE?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe globally recognized Cup of Excellence competition and auction is an opportunity for farmers to show their best work and to get their coffee in front of serious green coffee buyers all over the world.

The high prices earned through the auction process give the farmers the resources they need to invest in their operation and quality of life, while we receive some of the world's most beautiful coffees.
